how to put snow blade on cub cadet 122

[happy hooker pullers]

I got the blade mounted with out tooo much of a hassel but the handle is anothe problem. There is a bracket just past the pivot point on the front mounting bar. it is on the plate that goes to the blade. the bracket is about 3 inches from the pivot point. i made a bar to go from the bracket to the mower deck handle to raise an lower the blade. i clamped it to the handle. it does raise it!!!!!!! BUT IT IS VERY VERY VERY HEAVY. i think if i move the bracket closer to the blade it might be better. I HOPE. ANY HELP THANK YOU FOR YOUR EARLIER REPLYS.

Make the lift arm bracket on blade longer. That will make it easier to raise blade.

This is what you need, item A. I would think if you checked with the Cub Cadet collectors you may just find something, I have this helper spring on my 125, it really helps.

There is a assist spring thtt goes on this.. It is mounted inside the frame and under the seat area. It actuallly also helps life the rear attachments too.

thanks a lot they both helped, but the picture from Old Roy is the one. that is it exactly thanx a bunch. sorry it took so long to get back to this site but i had a few problems. I have everything but the long rod and the flat plate that attaches to the lift handle. i am pretty sure i can make those. the blade is mounted an it is the same blade. looks like i need to make a couple of shoes for the blade to ride on also.Thanx again

Take the rod from the lifting handle and move it down a hole. I had this problem the other day on my 102.
